I would leave the possibility of using the current GPS code by using a define at compile time, so when compiling for an embeeded platform (like android, armstrong or equivalent) you do not rely on having the gpsd library and daemon available

I took a look at the gpsd integration libs and these are my considerations:
PROS:
- lib seems easy to use and easy to integrate to existing osmocom code
- using gpsd avoids to parse lines directly and makes osmocom work with any
(gpsd-supported) device
CONS:
- the use of it makes the presence of gpsd necessary and creates a
dependancy from libgpsd when compiling
- if we use libgpsd, this is not backward-compatible with existing serial
parsing code
Finally, my opinion is that using gpsd is better then reading from the port, so if the mantainers of the code agree with me I think I could write the code.
Let me know. Dario.
